Our Mission

Founded in 1902 in the settlement tradition, Greenwich House is dedicated to improving the quality of life of the individuals and families in Greenwich Village and across the city. New Yorkers from all segments of society, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and religion are welcomed.

Who We Are

Founded in 1902 as a settlement house to help New York's increasing immigrant population adjust to life in a new country, today Greenwich House offers programs in social services, arts and education that provide thousands of New Yorkers with enrichment and cultural experiences. The programs we offer provide a valuable resource to the clients we serve. Whether it be counseling at the Chemical Dependency Program or a class at the Music School, Pottery, After-School or Summer Camp. Our professional, well-trained staff ensures that each client receives the care and service they need. Each individualâ€”be they staff, volunteer, client or supporterâ€”helps to contribute to this caring community of friends and neighbors in New York.
